Presentation Transcript

  1. SE3910Week 8, Class 1 • Today • Return Quiz • First true release of final project (Lab 8) • Multithreading Options • Qt socket buffers between threads SE-2811 Slide design: Dr. Mark L. Hornick Content: Dr. Hornick Errors: Dr. Yoder

  2. Quizzes • Today • Various unit analyses (e.g. audio rates, video rates, Nyquist theorem) • Scheduling • Round-robin vs. Cyclic Code Scheduling • Rate Monotonic Analysis • Compile vs. Link errors • In-lab (8-Lab) • Interthread communication • Ask me on Monday! SE-2811 Dr.Yoder

  3. Options for multithreading (review) • pthreads • POSIX (Linux/Unix standard) threads • Can use in C/C++ • qthreads • Qt Threads • Object-Oriented • Uses pthreads under the hood, when on POSIX [1] • Derek Malloy’s GPIO class • Uses pthreads under the hood, but is single-threaded • Boost (Please discuss this with me BEFORE HAND if you want to use it.) [1] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4140189/qthreads-vs-pthreads

  4. I was asked this question in an interview today…. (continued) "When we create a thread with pthread_create() (POSIX Threads), the thread starts on its own. Why do we need to explicitly call start() in Java. What is the reason that Java doesnt start the thread when we create an instance of it." I was blank and interviewer was short of time and eventually he couldnt explain the reason to me. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5269535/java-threads-vs-pthreads SE-3910 - Dr. Josiah Yoder Slide style: Dr. Hornick Much Material: Dr. Schilling

  6. Threading – pthreads (review)

  7. Threading – pthreads (updated) • Caveat: “POSIX threads can wait at condition variables of a greater generality than available in Java, but the corresponding queues may be leaky.” http://wimhesselink.nl/pub/whh241b.pdf SE-3910 - Dr. Josiah Yoder Slide style: Dr. Hornick Much Material: Dr. Schilling

  8. Threading – qthreads UNTESTED

  9. Threading – qthreads

  10. Looks useful if you are into Qt slots/signals == events “A QThread should be used much like a regular thread instance: prepare an object (QObject) class with all your desired functionality in it. Then create a new QThread instance, push the QObject onto it using moveToThread(QThread*) of the QObject instance and call start() on the QThread instance. That’s all.” https://mayaposch.wordpress.com/2011/11/01/how-to-really-truly-use-qthreads-the-full-explanation/ I have not used this approach. SE-2811 Dr.Yoder

  11. Possibly Fun • Very simple C++ wrapper for pthreads • http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/lavender/courses/cs345/lectures/CS345-Lecture-09.pdf • notify/wait – example comparison with Java and pthreads • http://wimhesselink.nl/pub/whh241b.pdf • Compares create for Java, pthreads, and Win32 threads • http://cs.millersville.edu/~csweb/lib/userfiles/9ThreadsII.pdf SE-3910 - Dr. Josiah Yoder Slide style: Dr. Hornick Much Material: Dr. Schilling

  12. Certainly fun (Dr. Taylor’s Reviews) • http://msoe.us/taylor/tutorial/ce2810/functionpointers • Function Pointers • http://msoe.us/taylor/tutorial/ce2810/csimilar • C/C++/Java • http://msoe.us/taylor/tutorial/ce2810/ooc • Object-Oriented C SE-3910 - Dr. Josiah Yoder Slide style: Dr. Hornick Much Material: Dr. Schilling
